Dreams of Joy
by Lisa See
This sequel to Shanghai Girls is very well written and continues the story of Pearl, May and Joy as well as the changes that took place in China during the 20th century. Again, the story is told from two different characters viewpoints: Joy, the daughter runs from Los Angeles to China in the early days of Communism and her mother Pearl who goes after her to try and bring her back home. Lisa See describes the landscape and surroundings with such detail. She also manages to convey the fear and ignorance which surround a closed society like the People's Republic of China.
